Prescription Drugs & Mental Health: The Truth Uncovered – Learn True Health Podcast – Episode #494 with Dr. Michael Biamonte

We've been conditioned to believe that emotional and mental health issues come from chemical imbalances, but that’s a myth. Millions of people take prescription drugs for emotional health problems, yet the rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide are rising.

Why? Because pharmaceutical drugs often fail to address the root causes of emotional distress. Instead, they mask symptoms, sometimes making the problem worse.

In this episode, Dr. Michael Biamonte and Ashley James uncover the truth about psychiatric drugs and discuss natural, science-backed ways to heal anxiety, depression, and mood disorders without dangerous medications.

🔑 Key Takeaways from This Episode:

✅ The Myth of the Chemical Imbalance

The idea that depression and anxiety come from a "chemical imbalance" has never been scientifically proven.
There are no medical tests psychiatrists use to confirm a chemical imbalance before prescribing drugs.
Many mental health symptoms stem from nutritional deficiencies, hormone imbalances, gut health issues, and heavy metal toxicity—not a lack of pharmaceuticals.

✅ The Dangers of Psychiatric Drugs

SSRIs (antidepressants) don’t increase serotonin—they block its reabsorption, which can actually cause serotonin deficiencies over time.
Side effects of psychiatric medications include suicidal thoughts, severe depression, emotional numbness, and personality changes.
Studies show that long-term psychiatric drug use can lead to irreversible damage, making it harder for the brain to function normally.

✅ What’s REALLY Causing Emotional & Mental Health Issues?

Gut health plays a MAJOR role in mental health—candida overgrowth, leaky gut, and bad gut bacteria can cause anxiety and depression.
Toxic metals like mercury, lead, and copper disrupt brain function, leading to mood swings, panic attacks, and suicidal thoughts.
High cortisol (stress hormone) blocks serotonin receptors, making people feel anxious and depressed.

✅ How to Heal Naturally Without Dangerous Medications

Test for and remove heavy metal toxicity through proper detoxification.
Balance gut health with diet, probiotics, and addressing candida overgrowth.
Check neurotransmitter levels through functional medicine testing (something psychiatrists almost never do).
Optimize hormone levels—imbalances in estrogen, progesterone, or thyroid hormones can cause severe mood swings.
Reduce inflammation with an anti-inflammatory diet (avoiding processed foods, gluten, and excess sugar).
